Broad Highlights of issues raised in the suggestions received on MPD 2021 Review (Upto 31.05.2012) Commissioner (Plg) II informed that suggestions received have been clubbed under 19 broad categories. Hon’ble LG asked Commissioner Plg-II to present these issues in detail. Further, Addl. Commissioner (Plg) MPPR presented these issues.

S.No Issues Observations of Advisory Group

1 Roads – Road Alignment/ Road Widening a) The review of alignment of Urban Extension Roads I/ II/ III (100 & 80 mts ROW) & Master Plan Roads passing through Built Up Area /Unauthorized Colonies in the process of Regularization. b) Realignment of 100 m wide road connecting Dwarka and NH-10 c) Permit commercial activities in the existing Bus Depots

Hon’ble LG mentioned that even though in some cases alignment is passing through built-up areas, the construction of these urban extension roads is important. However, alignments for such roads should be least disruptive DDA has recently formulated a policy for rehabilitation of project-affected persons (PAPs). Families affected by development should be rehabilitated on humanitarian grounds. Engineer Member, DDA informed that by December 2012 about 2400

3


low cost flats will be ready in Dwarka for allotment. Some of these could be kept reserved for rehabilitating such families. LG agreed with this suggestion. Hon’ble LG observed that large scale commercial activities should not be permitted in the existing Bus Depots, and land of depots should be utilized for accommodating the growing bus fleet. Some essential facilities i.e. parking including watch & ward, Soft Drinks & Snacks Stalls, Administrative Office, Other offices are already permitted.

2 Enhancement of FAR a) To increase permissible FAR

for Hotels; Motels; Hospitals; Residential plots etc.

b) Redevelopment of areas such as Okhla Industrial Sheds.

c) Shops cum Residential Plots schemes such as NDSE, Khan Market ,Kingsway Camp etc.

Hon’ble LG stressed that Hospitals need more FAR due to increase in the demand for hospital beds in relation to population. Commissioner (Plg) II informed that for hospitals the maximum permissible FAR is 200, maximum permissible height in Master Plan is 37 m and the Ground Coverage is 30%. Hon’ble LG suggested that ground coverage should be increased to 50%. New blocks can be created and sky walk can be added connecting the blocks. Commissioner (Plg) II informed that increase in FAR can be examined in relation to the location, availability of services & road network etc. Director General, NCAER showed his concern about fire Safety issues. Hon’ble LG observed that Delhi fire service Rules which restrict height of hospitals to 30 mtrs should be reviewed. Additional fire safety measures can be prescribed. On the issue of removal of building setbacks and boundary walls, it was noticed by the forum, that the fire

4


regulations are such that setbacks become mandatory. Ms. Romi Roy Senior Consultant, UTTIPEC clarified that in the present conditions, the setbacks were clogged with vehicle parking. UTTIPEC had received a letter from the Delhi Police raising the same issue. In the draft TOD Policy and in the Street Design Guidelines, it is proposed that boundary walls & setbacks be removed and the streets themselves become driveways for unhindered fire tender access. Hon’ble LG suggested that Atriums should be allowed on all Commercial and Institutional buildings subject to fire safety. Chief Architect DDA informed that definition of atrium may be redefined in the building bye laws.

In Zone “O” embankments have effectively segregated the unauthorised colonies from the river bed, Hon’ble LG therefore, directed that the boundary of Zone “O” will need to be revisited in consultation with the Environment Department of GNCTD to exclude colonies like Sonia vihar. Jaitpur, Jaitpur Extn. etc.


4 Villages/Unauthorized Colonies Building Bye-laws not to be applied in Lal Dora. Commercial activities like godowns, warehousing to be permitted in Vilage Abadis etc. More activities under Mixed Land Use. Lal Dora Extensions to be treated at par with Lal Dora Areas. Reduction in standards for

Action: Director (Plg) MP 6. Presentation of selected core items by UTTIPEC – Draft TOD Chapter Draft TOD Policy for inclusion as a new chapter in MPD-2021 was presented by Romi Roy, Sr. Consultant, UTTIPEC. She also gave an insight into the key components of the TOD Policy and its overall structure: Key Goals of Transit Oriented Development are: To help achieve the MPD-2021 targeted 80-20 modal shift in favour of public transportation. To, make public transport the preferable mode of transportation by making it easily accessible, efficient, reliable and safe for maximum number of people. To, promote social equity through equal and safe access to public transportation for all. To, help achieve Clean-Air Quality Targets for Delhi. To, provide a variety and high-density mix of housing, employment and recreation options within walking/cycling distance of each other and of MRTS stations - in order to induce a lifestyle change towards healthier living and better quality of life. To,help reduce the severe housing deficit by providing affordable housing stock within accessible distance of public transport and amenities, through redensification. To, provide savings in public money through reduction of investments in physical infrastructure like additional roads, piping/cabling costs, as well as large savings in the time-cost currently lost in traffic congestion. To, utilize the induced private-sector investment near MRTS nodes to provide funding for public transport improvements as well as provision of social amenities. To help save environmentally sensitive lands and virgin lands through high-density compact development.

Key Design Principles of TOD: Pedestrian & Cycle/ Non Motorized Transit Friendly Environment Efficient Public & Para-transport System supporting MRTS Multimodal Interchange and Street Connectivity Mixed Land use and Appropriate Use Intensities Placemaking – Create a safe, vibrant, comfortable urban “place”. Well Managed Parking – Discourage use of car as a feeder or a general mode of transport through pricing and management. Ms. Romi Roy, Senior Consultant, UTTIPEC also highlighted the basis of identification of TOD catchment areas from the center of Metro Stations. The relation of time taken to walk and the distance covered in Indian Context was based on a study done by Rites for DMRC. TOD Intense zone: 300M zone (5Minute walking distance) TOD Standard zone: 800M zone (10Minute walking distance) NMT Zone: (10Minute cycling distance) Based on the presentation made by UTTIPEC, The Advisory Group concluded that the mention of 500M zone demarcation for densification and redevelopment along the metro corridor needs to be removed from the Master Plan. It should be replaced by the revised catchment areas for TOD as presented by UTTIPEC and stated above in a-c. The rationale and the source of study should also be referred in the Master plan. Professor, NIUA, suggested the densification of areas in the influence areas of Metro corridors should be done along with the Infrastructure provisions. Commissioner (Plg) II, DDA suggested that the proposed Policy on Transit Oriented Development presented be grouped into: Policy Norms and standards to be covered in the MPD- 2021 as part of TOD chapter. Regulations/ guidelines that could be processed under section 57 of the Delhi Development Act . Annexure that could be given proper numbers. Ms. Romi Roy, Sr. Consultant, UTTIPEC, highlighted the importance of putting all the essential objects of the Transit Oriented Policy (including norms & standard) in the chapter for TOD in the Master Plan, failing which it will be difficult to achieve the desired end results of the Policy. Further, it was brought to the notice of the Advisory Group that UTTIPEC had taken up two pilot projects for testing the policy and update it for its flexibility and workability. The selected corridors are: Mundka Corridor Chattarpur Corridor Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor, clarified that after updating the draft TOD policy based on the learnings from the pilot projects, the Policy, Norms, Regulations and Annexure have to be brought to the Advisory Group for approval.

Action: Senior Consultant, UTTIPEC Ms. Romi Roy, Senior Consultant, UTTIPEC brought to the notice of the Advisory Group that since the TOD policy looks into Redevelopment strategies along with Greenfield and retrofitting works, it is essential that all the references in the Master Plan regarding

15


redevelopment within the MRTS Influence Zone need to be redirected to the TOD Chapter and deleted from the Redevelopment Chapter. To clarify the point made by Ms. Romi Roy, Director UTTIPEC, Shri Ashok Bhattacharjee gave the example of the chapter on Redevelopment in the Master plan. The Advisory Group agreed to it and concluded that all such references of redevelopment of areas within the MRTS Influence Zone need to be as per TOD Policy and Chapter and necessary amendments/ deletions must be made in the relevant MPD sections. On the issue of TOD phasing, UTTIPEC Sr. Consultants clarified that it was necessary to prepare Influence Zone Plans for TOD areas prior to its implementation. The whole process could be phased out based on the preparation of TOD Influence zone plans as well as the existence of either an operational Metro corridor or one that has been already approved. Ms. Romi Roy, Senior Consultant, UTTIPEC gave an insight into the essential components of an Influence zone plan: Urban Design Framework plan Transport Impact Assessment and Mitigation Strategies Decentralized Infrastructure and Sustainability Plan Mechanism of Private Participation in Development/ Redevelopment strategies.
